How I Live PERMA

For me, well-being isn’t about big dramatic changes—it’s built from small rituals, moments I notice, and choices that feel good to my inner world.
Of course, I’m not perfect. Sometimes I feel down, unmotivated, or not enough.
And then I remember: I’m human.
I feel—whether it’s “good” or “bad.” And that feeling itself is part of being alive.

P – Positive Emotions

Gratitude, joy, pleasure, hope, play… following these emotions
There are tiny doors that open to positive emotion in my everyday life:

  • my morning cacao ritual

  • my journaling time

  • hugging my daughter (when she lets me!)

  • feeling my cat sleeping on me

  • breakfast with my husband

  • the wind touching my face while walking

When I consciously follow these feelings…
the tone of the day shifts.
My body softens, my mind clears.

E – Engagement / Flow

“Where do I feel time stop?”

  • while cooking

  • organizing the house

  • walking in nature

  • writing

  • during meditation

  • learning something new

  • watching a good movie or documentary

  • coaching

In these moments, my body feels lighter and my mind becomes quiet.
I find myself simply being.

R – Relationships

My Web
My family, my friends, the people I meet on my coaching journey…
They are the pillars of my well-being.
I choose to build my relationships on compassion, honesty, and trust.
And I know this for sure:
the energy of the people you surround yourself with shapes your life.

M – Meaning

Why do I wake up in the morning?
Meaning, for me, is…

  • that “lightbulb moment” in a coaching session

  • witnessing my daughter grow and transform

  • seeing both my own evolution and my husband’s in our marriage

  • the healing smell and taste of a simple soup I make in the kitchen

  • noticing the feeling of wind on my face
    (this always reminds me of the scene in City of Angels where the angel feels the wind for the first time)

  • learning how to stay flexible in uncertainty

These are my small but deep roots—what keep me connected to life.

A – Achievement / Small Steps

Moving toward myself — step by step
I used to choose big, demanding goals.
That’s how I was raised: “What’s difficult is valuable.”
Now, I’ve softened.
Small, easy, sustainable goals feel so much better for me.

  • instead of reading 3 books at once, I choose just 1

  • I started strength training with only 15 minutes once a week

  • I do one tiny thing each day to keep the house tidy
    (yes… sometimes it falls apart, I’m human)

  • when I go shopping, I target only one store
    because more than that drains me

In short:
I set my priorities, take small steps, and move forward at my own rhythm.
And these small steps make me stronger, more balanced, and more myself.
